Progress On DR Cards

I have just finished my Combat Gunner Tables Version 2.0

They are at the end of the thread on guidelines for making ships stats.

Man the wasps are crazy down here since Ike, I got stung 6 times right after Ike, and just a litle while got popped twice in the stomach.

Hope these tables are right, I'm bound to have a typo or a mistake in there somewhere, If you find one, tell me, I'll fix it.

You might want to delete the old list and edit the new one into the first post in the thread, so people don't get the two mixed up.

lotharlutjens

Good Idea, I'll do just that.

It is done Aquarius, The new list is in the original guidelines post. The old post is at the back of the thread marked as "Verboten" . I want to keep it around for a while just in case. Thanks for your suggestion.

Seeing this thread here, I thought that perhaps you could start a stickied thread that will be like a developer's blog. E.g.

31 Sep 2008
--------------
SMS Emden has wrong speed and must be corrected.

29 Sep 2008
---------------
Two new cruisers have been added for the Germans. Waiting for cards. They are pretty cheap and should prove useful to German Navy fans ...

...
...
or something like that anyway. So, there will be no separate thread needed for corrections and it will be like a news bulletin for the rest of us to keep up with the latest updates.
What do you think?

lotharlutjens

This was why I had the old progress report in the "old" ( two days ago ) sub forum, although I didn't date it. This is a good idea. I shall begin now. ............Uhh, does anybody know what date this is? Wink

NeuralDream

Yup, it could be a locked thread, so that only you can write in it and maybe you could have it as one post that you will be editing, instead of replies, so that the latest update is always first.

lotharlutjens

Ok, so if I click the lock symbol right above this quick reply box, it will lock this thread ? Secondly, will it lock the whole thread or just this particular post ? BTW Tiornu must be a fellow rocker, he said "Comfortably Numb" was one of his favorites, never figured he was an old hippy like me. One never knows.

NeuralDream

tbh, I had never seen this shortcut, but I guess that yes, it locks the thread.

Also, there are many old hippies here Wink

ND, I have looked over 4 cards that we have already done and I think the curve is out of wack, increasing the total increments of ammount of guns firing has caused a lessening of total die thrown for those ships with fewer than 9 guns that bear in a single direction. I think we have put too many increments (we have gone from 4 to 7). I am going to put up an example. I wiil get back here in a sec.

Old Table

1-2 x 9.2 7 6 5 3
or 10/40
3-6 x 9.2 9 8 7 5
or 10/40
7-10 x 9.2 11 10 9 7
or 10/40
11+ x 9.2 12 11 10 8
or 10/40

New Table

1 x 9.2 6 5 4 2
or 10/40
2 x 9.2 7 6 5 3
or 10/40
3-4 x 9.2 8 7 6 4
or 10/40
5-6 x 9.2 9 8 7 5
or 10/40
7-8 x 9.2 10 9 8 6
or 10/40
9-10 x 9.2 11 10 9 7
or 10/40
11+ x 9.2 12 11 10 8
or 10/40

Ok for 11 plus guns there is no change
9-10 guns there is no change
7-8 guns loses one die
5-6 guns there is no change
3-4 guns loses one die
2 guns there is no change
1 gun loses one die

For ships with a battery of 9 or more guns in a single direction there is no change, bit for ships with less than 8 guns it's a 50-50 chance that they lost a little firepower. Just wanted to make sure we're all on the same page before I start reccomending stat changes

NeuralDream

Yes, I had noticed this. That's why I had suggested to maybe give 1 extra die to all medium guns (6 to 9.4 inch) at all directions, at least for the 2 to 6 guns range.

lotharlutjens

Bump to get ND's attention.

NeuralDream

You missed my reply

lotharlutjens

I think we need to give an extra die to all guns except the 15"

NeuralDream

On second thoughts, I think you are right.

lotharlutjens

Into the fray I go, Slaying numbers by the score.

lotharlutjens

4 revised stats are ready in my log.

NeuralDream

That's great. I took the liberty to add AA 3 for Averoff, so that I delete that "old" sticky that mentioned it.

lotharlutjens

Thanks, my mind was fixed on mains and secondaries, didn't even think about anything else. Embarassed

lotharlutjens

5 more revised stats in the log.

lotharlutjens

Total of 14 out of 24 stat revisions are ready.

lotharlutjens

Lunchtime yields yet 5 more redoes in the bag

lotharlutjens

All 24 cards are done as far as gunnery errata goes. Waiting on you guys now.

Oh yeah, the info's in the log.

lotharlutjens

Aquarius, If you want to try making a card from scratch, The Regina Elena is ready.
